This paper examines ethical responsibilities surrounding The Telepathy Tapes, particularly the treatment of nonspeaking autistic people and claims involving facilitated communication.

Method and scope

The author uses narrative ethics to compare respectful attention to lived experience with the need to scrutinise potentially harmful interpretations.

What to keep in mind

This is an ethical argument, not a controlled test of telepathy. Its conclusions and criticism should be attributed to the author.
